A
A model has gone from cleaner to the catwalk after an international
agency took a shine to her looks.
Aleksandra Naranowicz, 27, struggled to find work after moving to
England from Poland despite an impressive CV（简历）and a master’s
degree.
She made ends meet with a small salary of ￡250 a week as a
cleaner—but her luck changed when one of her employers referred her to
a London modeling agent.
They told Aleksandra she had the figure and looks of a model and the
six-foot cleaner soon left her mop behind.
She has already starred in a series of advertisements and catwalk
shows and is earning up to ￡2,000 a shoot.
Aleksandra said: “People said I had a pretty face and that I’d be good as a model. This gave me the confidence to meet modeling agencies in London.”
Aleksandra left Poland with a Master’s degree in Pedagogy—the science and art of education, and moved to Bristol.
She took a job with local cleaning firm Mopp and one of her clients, a retired media top manager, told her: “With bone structure like that, you should be on a catwalk not cleaning my kitchen floor.”
She spent the next few months working as a cleaner to save the money to go to castings in London and was signed up by PRM, a leading model management company.
She now works as a full-time model and has done countless shoots in hair magazines and advertisements.
Mopp founder Pete Dowds said: “We’re delighted to have been a part of helping Aleksandra with her career. She was a brilliant addition to Mopp’s Bristol cleaning team so we’re sorry to lose her but no doubt she’ll clean up in the fashion world in no time.”
21. Aleksandra’s fortune was changed because of .
A. the help from one of her employers
B. her impressive CV and education
C. Pete Dowds, the founder of Mopp
D. her experience and love for modeling
22. The underlined phrase in the 3rd paragraph probably means “ .”
A. failed to make a living by herself
B. got only enough money to cover her needs
C. earned much more money than she needed
D. saved a large sum of money for her needs
23. From the last paragraph we know that people .
A. regret helping Aleksandra with her career
B. show little respect for Aleksandra
C. consider Aleksandra to be ordinary
D. think Aleksandra has a bright future
24. Which of the following can best describe Aleksandra?

We go to the dining room with them, do sports with them, and share little secrets with them. Having a friend for every occasion is a huge advantage in life. In fact, the truth is that the friends we make in high school can last a lifetime.
However, admit it or not, there are little bumps(突起) in the road, even between good friends. “Friendships are difficult, and the closer they are, the more difficult they become,”noted The Guardian.
According to a new survey done in the UK, as many as 10 pe rcent of people don’t have a single friend to turn to, said the newspaper.
So, how do we keep a good friendship?
The first rule is acting carefully. At some point, you will be forced to choose between being nice and giving a friend the honesty you think the relationship deserves. “But honesty is not always safe,” said The Guardian. “Sometimes you are forced to find out what your friendship truly is based on.”
Friendships can come from a number of different desires. Unhealthy ones like need and the wish for flattery (奉承) are as common as the more healthy ones like common interests and a shared sense of humor. We should know the fact that the healthy and unhealthy ones are often mixed together.
We all know that friends love each other, but they must also be allowed to hate each other sometimes. You must learn to accept a little fly in the ointment, which means that even if you have a big argument, you won’t lose your friendship.
The nature of friendship changes, and you have to change with it. After you have entertained each other for a while, a good friendship will turn into something precious and stable, even if you aren’t always laughing. You are still there, you still enjoy being around each other, and you value your
shared history.
25. We can learn from the second paragraph that_______.
A. it is easy to keep a good friendship
B. a true friendship will last for a long time
C. the way to a good friendship isn’t smooth
D. a real friendship doesn’t exist in our life
26. How many pieces of advice does the writer offer to keep a good friendship?
A. 2.
B. 3.
C. 4.
D. 5.
27. In order to keep a good friendship, we should _______.
A. always behave nicely to our friend
B. avoid having any argument with each other
C. make our friends laugh every time we meet
D. find a balance between being nice and honest
28. Which proverb can best show the main idea of the passage?
A. A true friend is hard to make.
B. A friend is a second self.
C. All is common between friends.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Ever feel like you’ve been hit on the head after a bad night’s sleep? According to scientists, the thought is just as true as it seems.
A study found going without sleep for just one night causes changes in the brain similar to those that occur after a knock on the head.
The researchers said the healthy young men examined in the study showed an increase in the same chemicals which indicate some kind of brain damage.
Professor Christian Benedict, of Uppsala University, Sweden, explained that the chemicals NSE and S-100B are marks for brain damage, such as concussion（脑震荡）.
He said: “What we found was that the levels of NSE and S-100B in the blood rose in the group that went without sleep for a night. This was not as serious as a head injury, for instance, but it demands our close attention.”
“During sleep, the brain cleans itself of poisonous type s of matters and NSE and S-100B increase in response to these matters.” He said the findings back up previous research showing how the brain uses sleep to clean itself.
“The rise of the chemicals in the blood after sleep loss may suggest not getting enough sleep contributes to a loss of brain cells,” he explained.
Professor Benedict, whose study is published in the journal Sleep, added: “In conclusion, the findings of our experiment indicate a good night’s sleep may be the deciding factor（因素）for keeping brain health.”
A third of the UK population suffer from sleep-related problems, while the average person now sleeps for only seven hours a night, compared with almost nine a few decades ago.
Many scientists believe irregular sleeping patterns lead to illnesses ranging from aches and pains to heart disease, while less than eight hours’ sleep a night can lower the IQ the next day.
32. According to the study, a night’s sleep loss may lead to .
A. a deadly illness
B. a head injury
C. a kind of brain damage
D. an increase of brain cells
33. What may happen during sleep?
A. Illnesses from aches to heart disease occur.
B. Poisonous chemicals rise little by little.
C. A large number of brain cells are disappearing.
D. The brain removes harmful chemicals from itself.
34. For what purpose does the author write the passage?
A. To tell us some sleep-related problems.
B. To warn us of the bad effect of sleep loss.
C. To stress the changes in the brain during sleep.
D. To explain some harmful chemicals in our brain.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Irregular sleep contributes to good health.
B. Poisonous matters exist in your brain.
C. Attention should be paid to your sleep.
D. Sleep loss equals a knock on your head.
